Information posted by the owner YFP – Mahmoodi on social network X said the team's income comes from stream and sponsored from brands, total income is only about $ 10,000. Meanwhile, YFP spent up to 72,500 USD on the player contract and nearly 16,000 USD's salary.
In total, YFP hole 78,000 USD only in 2024 when the income was not enough to pay employees. Currently, YFP abandoned overwatch at the end of 2024 and completely focused on Valorant. Mahmoodi also revealed that the team will continue to invest more times when the team attends this year's Challengers tournament to succeed.
Since its inception, YFP has played in the 2nd tournament of North American Valorant and won a number of regional tournaments. The best achievement of the team is Valorant Challengers 2024 North America: Split 3 when the team comes second, losing to the 0-2 ranks in the final. Recently, YFP announced that he had set up a youth team to attend higher level tournaments.
However, the results from YFP showed that the investment of an eSports organization is not simple. YFP himself must also contact many large eSports organizations with the desire to cooperate but have no big change. However, Mahmoodi admitted that she would continue to try to develop more organization and reach new heights.
Finally, Mahmoodi affirmed: “Electronic sports are not for heart and adventurous people, but to develop in this business, you have to risk.” It can be seen that most investors in eSports are not for the benefit but mainly based on passion for eSports. However, if it is not possible to maintain passion, the final investment also leads to failure, affirming the saying “Electronic sports are not for the weak heart”.
